Apple loses EU court fight over App Store gatekeeper status

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

Apple has lost a legal challenge in Europe against the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which designates the company as a "gatekeeper." The European court of justice upheld the ruling, requiring Apple to allow rival services to interoperate with its five app stores and not favor its own services. While Apple expressed concerns about privacy and security, the court dismissed its challenges regarding iMessage interoperability and other DMA requirements. This decision means Apple must continue to comply with the DMA's mandates regarding its platforms. AI
